About our bath re-enamelling in Downham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Downham
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Downham?
We do. Technicians travel to Downham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairing versus replacing in Downham
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Downham
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
